Is any waterford made in Slovenia?
It may legally be authentic just because Waterford has "outsourced" its manufacturing, but it is clearly not nearly the same quality as that which the public thinks of as Irish Waterford. The Slovenia glass (not even sure it is crystal) is thicker, the cutting of the pattern is not nearly as distinct (rounder edges that look more like pressed glass than crystal) and instead of the wonderful chime you get from high quality crystal you'll hear a dull thud when you strike the glass with your fingernails. Not worth the money.
How do you know if your Waterford crystal was made in Ireland?
Check the bottom of the piece of crystal. You will find a very small and faint logo that will actually say Waterford. I don't think that answers the person's question. Waterford crystal, beginning some time in the 1990's was being made in Slovenia, not Ireland. Now it might even be made in China. Point being, it is no longer made in Ireland UNLESS it's a high-end order from VIP's like Trump or the President, etc. So, the questions remains. How can a person tell if the crystal they already own was made in Ireland? Do they not stamp Waterford on the pieces made in Slovenia?

Why is waterford crystal not made in waterford?
Some Waterford Crystal is made in Waterford but not as industrially as before the factory in Waterford closed down.
